Chapter 402

The reporter asked, "did you finish the script independently?"

Mark said, "of course!"

The reporter asked, "how did you interpret this story? Did it get Mr. McCarthy's approval?"

Mark said, "no country for old people" It can be regarded as the success of the story that Mr. McCarthy wanted to express in his previous novels, the whole way of life in Western America and the ending approaching at a fast pace; the final glory and justice in a fallen world; the ongoing confrontation between human nature and evil; black comedy and modern violence; the interaction between temptation, survival and sacrifice; the escalating chaos; the darkness The remaining love and the touch of a glimmer of hope... In addition, McCarthy also likes characters with complex characters and symbolic story themes - these will be in no country for old people It is continuous and clear enough to give me some space to play, or expand or enrich or distort their film skills, so as to transfer the power of words to eye-catching pictures and sonorous and powerful language in a resonant story telling way. "

The reporter smiled and said: "it's hard to imagine that you, who created such a simple and pure love novel as the Twilight series, would have such a profound understanding of no country for old people. How did you pay attention to this novel?"

Mark said: "The reason why I pay attention to COMAC McCarthy's novel is mainly due to the result strongly recommended by the producer Scott ruding. When ruding brought the novel to us, he wanted to see if I was interested. As a result, I liked the story very much, so I began to think about the possibility of making it into a film. I wanted to make it as close as possible to an action film. Generally speaking, this is a film with In the story about chasing and killing, gang leader Anton Zieger chased and killed Llewellyn, and then the sheriff came. In order to achieve a goal, there are many violent physical behaviors here. For films of the same type, this effect is very interesting, but what really attracts me is that it overturns all the expected effects of works of this type. "

The reporter said: "when the novel version of no country for old people was printed and released in 2003, it caused a great sensation. McCarthy's works focused on the extraordinary story background of the rapidly changing West, and has accumulated unparalleled popularity and reputation. As for this book no country for old people , is one of the most profound contemporary stories he created. Even success is so urgent. As a thriller master with strong style of writing and penetrating your brain cells with suspense and humor, McCarthy pointed his pen at an honest and upright man. It began when the man accidentally picked up a man with two hundred dollars in the border area of Texas The bag of $10000 in cash has caused a series of purposeful pursuit because of its reckless handling... This novel can be regarded as a very provocative reflection. The object is the modern West that has grown to accommodate more violent incidents and acts of ignoring the law, rather than the mysterious fringe in the past. As a recognized commercial film director, Are you sure you can adapt it well? I mean, we should refine the essence of the original work and conform to the lens language of the film. "

Mark said, "after saying so much, are you still worried that I will destroy the classics? But you can rest assured that I do it with all my strength. What I do with all my strength has no precedent of failure."

The reporter asked, "for example?"

Mark said: "for example, shooting this man from earth under extremely difficult conditions; chasing Giselle; acquiring Columbia and MGM, etc." Mark said confidently.

The reporter smiled. Mark was really proud and proud. He said, "has the star been selected?"

Mark said: "This script has a new understanding of McCarthy's unique American concept. Its rapid pace and too pure black comedy style determine that I must find the best actor in the film industry to complete this work. Tommy Lee Jones has become the best candidate for the role of Sheriff Bell, and he is also a COMAC McCarthy Tin fan, as soon as the novel was published, he read it for the first time. He was obsessed with the story. When he heard that I was granted the right to adapt, it was even more difficult for him to resist his excitement: "In today's America, McCarthy is rated by the critics as the most prosaic genre scholar. His works always have an indescribable attraction to those who make movies."

The reporter said: "Tommy's joining is a good choice, which shows your unique vision. Who plays Erin? Who plays killer Anton?"

Mark said: "heath, who was highly praised in Infernal Affairs, plays Erin. He is also a loyal fan of McCarthy. Like Tommy, he has read novels before reading the script. Heath said: "That's one of the most amazing, violent and local stories I've ever read. Even if its clue is single and linear, it depends on the innovation in structural processing. I like the balanced three-point relationship between Llewellyn, Anton and bell very much. It feels like looking at three different personalities of the same person." When talking about the script, mark went on with a beaming smile: "this is a very emotional and primitive story, which tells all the rights and rules of human beings about right and wrong, temptation and honor."

The reporter smiled and said, "when talking about actors, you go back to the script. It seems that you are full of confidence in him? What about the other lineups?"

Mark said: "Javier Baden plays Anton, a Spanish actor, and enjoys a high reputation in Europe. I very much appreciate his performances in" husband and wife "," living color and fragrance "and" before nightfall ". The strong and handsome Javier has the unique personality and demeanor of the Spanish people, his cold and rough face and brown eyes always have deep eyes, which often give people a kind of shock."

The reporter said: "the three are all powerful actors nominated by the film emperor. We look forward to their performance on the same stage."

Mark said, "maybe you'll be disappointed."

The reporter asked, "why?"

Mark said, "excuse me, but I can guarantee that it's absolutely wonderful."

The reporter shrugged and said, "how much is the investment in this film?"

"There's no budget," Mark said

The reporter was stunned and said, "no?"

Mark said, "there is no upper budget limit. You can use as much as you need. Everything serves the needs of the plot. It is neither extravagant nor wasteful. It will not be deliberately saved." this is just a gimmick. Of course, there is a budget, otherwise it will make people feel wronged.

The reporter can understand that mark today is a bit like Spielberg of DreamWorks in the past. He likes the moon in the sky, and the other two will find it for him. He asked, "this is your first time to make literary and artistic films. Does this mean transformation, moving closer to literary and artistic films, and trying to get the recognition of the college?"

Mark said, "I made this film because I am interested and have creative passion. The recognition of the college is the icing on the cake, but it is not the main purpose. You know, art pays attention to nature and randomness, and deliberately pursues it will become inferior." mark actually doesn't know art, but it doesn't prevent him from pretending to be a big tail wolf and talking about art.

Naturally, the reporter didn't know his reality. He was bluffed by his bright appearance and couldn't help flattering him.

This is mark, a pragmatist. When he wants money, he puts down his body to shoot idol blockbusters and superhero blockbusters. Now when he wants little golden man, he talks about art. If he didn't have the support of the whole media group, he would have been sprayed to death. When playing literature and art, critics would only say that they are sensational, Poor imitation, you are a tacky businessman, what art do you know.

Mark is different. Who dares to criticize him for the whole group's propaganda? This will be backfilled by his group, so he can switch freely between art and business.

After shooting twilight for two months, the time at home has been reduced by more than half. Little Martin doesn't recognize him very much. Especially just one month after he left and came back, little Martin won't let him hold him and doesn't recognize the old man. After more than a month of getting along, little Martin recognized him again. He is willing to let him hold him and likes to stick to him.

This made mark realize that he could not leave his family for a long time, which would lead to weak family ties. Therefore, after filming twilight, he gave himself a week off to play with his son every day. After school, he also picked up Kayla and let them play together.

Giselle is a strong man. Mark asked her to help on the board of directors. She was very happy. She asked two assistants to help, but she managed to keep it in good order. It is said that she is much better than mark.

She works in Mark's office. There are complete facilities. It doesn't matter much to take her son to work. She doesn't go back when she's busy. She lives here directly. She works and takes her baby.

However, her secret contract with Victoria could not be completed. Her contract was signed, but in 2007, she originally planned to complete the contract and return to the T-stage after giving birth to a child. However, David and mark asked her to help the board of directors, take care of the board of directors in Mark's absence, and also take care of the business of the family fund, which was obviously more important. She had to terminate the contract in advance.

Sheren Jester Turney, President of Weimi, knew that Giselle was flying into a phoenix and was in charge of a company bigger than Victoria's secret. Naturally, she would not go back to her show. She was not embarrassed at all. She didn't want compensation. She also held a grand farewell party.

This is also good for their company. Giselle is one of the top elites among the Weimi angels who go out, adding a lot of luster and topics to them. Having such a friend of the head of the media group is only good for them, not bad.
